Mozart composed his music not for the elite, but for everybody.

The waltz can be sad and at the same time uplifting. You have to see life from both sides, and the waltz encapsulates that. If you're in my audience you give yourself to me and the waltz will grab you.

For me, I always like to get up bright and early.

I first picked up a violin aged five - I just assumed everyone played.

I make music to touch the souls of people as it's a language we all can speak.

I am a showman in the traditional sense, but modern, too. I like to use sets and lighting to create magic.

It is my personality alone that has brought back the waltz and made it a global craze.
